Answer 1

Given:

A six sided number from 1 to 6 is rolled in a game.

To find:

Theoretical probability of rolling a 1 or 2.

Solution:

1) The cube has 6 faces so the total number of the outcome would be 6 only.

2) As per the question we need only 1 or 2 so the favorable outcome would be 2.

3) P(E) = favorable outcome/ total number of outcome

 P(E)   = 2/6

 P(E)   = 1/3

Theoretical probability of rolling a 1 or 2 is 1/3
